    I have a Corolla. It does 0-60 eventually, but what’s really important is that it does 0-60 every single time.

    Great review! I like how you separated your video into different categories. I'm glad this 2021 Corolla LE has light steering and a soft plush comfortable ride. That's what most of us want and need, an easy comfortable driving experience. As for performance, considering that we all have to follow speed limits, fast cars can be frustrating because you always to keep yourself in check. I prefer slower cars because I can drive it aggressively without getting in trouble.

    Finally a breath of fresh air from somebody whose palms were not greased by
    lets call it "the competition". The ugly hard plastic will still be ugly hard plastic in
    10 years from now, without any wear or tear on it. The car will be rattle free.
    Have a good look and listen how the closing of the drivers door sounds.
    It is truly, and keep in mind what it costs, the best car on earth for what you pay, period!
    The older models drove like a Safeway cart with four loose wheels, even that you get used to. The new platform this one sits on, perfect.
    Thank you sir for doing an excellent job.

    I have the LE with the Premium package (Sun roof, push button start, nicer wheels and body protection). It is the 2nd Corolla I've owned and I absolutely love it. The CVT transmission takes some getting used to. All Toyota CVT's have a 1st gear, or launch gear as they like to call it. And if you you really step on the gas, it has a simulated gear shift feel.

    I picked the LE over the SE due to the much more simple 1.8L vs the dual injection direct injection of the 2.0 which is more complicated and expensive to repair. The extra power didn't matter to me. I also prefer the softer ride of the LE. Oh and my LE is a J vin which may be better built.

      I agree, I bought mine 4 weeks ago and some things about it get on my nerves. The CVT transmission can bump or jerk slightly when letting off the gas and slowing down, then accelerating again. Tire noise on some pavements can be excessive and the filler tube can flex down when refueling.
